Pause in Services

---

As we prepare for launch, there will be a brief period during which our current systems will be unavailable. This pause in services likely will consist of a few business days plus a weekend. The pause will take place just prior to launch and will allow us to transfer existing user accounts to MyIntealth accurately and efficiently.

During the pause, we will be unable to accept and process applications and service requests. We will continue to refine the time needed to transfer user information and will share any updates so that users can plan accordingly.

Applicants & ID Numbers

---

To access MyIntealth, you will need a user ID, which will consist of your e-mail address and must be unique. You cannot share an e-mail address with another MyIntealth user. You also will be required to create a password. You will use your user ID and password to access all services in the MyIntealth environment.

Additionally, you will be assigned a MyIntealth ID, a unique 9-digit number that will be used to identify you across our services. Your MyIntealth ID will be issued once you establish your MyIntealth account and should be used consistently when contacting us for assistance.

In support of IMGs pursuing ECFMG Certification and U.S. GME, we work with other organizations to provide essential services. In addition to the MyIntealth ID, MyIntealth will support the ID numbers used by these other organizations. Specifically:

• USMLE ID issued to applicants for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE).
• AAMC ID issued to participants in the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and ERAS Fellowships Documents Office (EFDO).
• SEVIS ID issued to participants in our Exchange Visitor Sponsorship Program (J-1 visa sponsorship) for the U.S. Government’s Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS).

Although these additional ID numbers will be associated with the applicant’s MyIntealth account, the MyIntealth ID will be the applicant’s primary ID number and should be used when communicating with us.

   There are a number of things you can do to prepare:
   • Please monitor this web page for updates. Leading up to launch, we will provide more detailed information on the changes you should expect.
   • If you expect to rely on ECFMG services to meet deadlines in late 2023 or early 2024, we encourage you to submit applications and other service requests as soon as possible.

Additionally, some of our services, such as the Pathways application, will not be replaced by MyIntealth but will become part of the MyIntealth environment. See About MyIntealth.
